Ours won't take printed competitor's coupons, but if we go in and say "I can get ______ at ______ for $____ they will match it. It sounds like my store has it backwards, LOL.
Go to Walmart's web site and enter "Coupon Policy" in the search box. The corporate coupon policy will come up as a pdf. You can take it into the local stores and they should honor it. Local managers are either misinformed or stubborn. Once presented with the corporate policy, they will allow you to use competitor's coupons. If not, many couponers keep the corporate customer service number on their cell phones and call right in front of the manager...works every time!
There is a show where this dude spent like $400 and with coupons, he walked out spending only like $15.
Is this possible?

On a "Walmart fourm" I was told if my store has this sale:
Buy 2 coke 12 packs and get 3 free, that Walmart won't match it.
They said Walmart would give one free when I buy two twelve packs.
If sounds like the policy is: a pick and choose
which prices they will match.
I also wish they would put LIMITS on what types, and how much, "junk" they can buy with food stamps. The longer I cashier the more I notice it and it doesn't make me mad or anything, like it does 'some' cashiers, but it does bug me sometimes because they could do so much better.
I am totally with you on this I don't think people should be able to buy soda and other junk food with food stamps. This stuff is leading to obesity, diabetes, & other health problems, which is driving up health care costs. A lot of people on food stamps are probably on Medicaid as well. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but we have got to do something about preventing all these health problems and the high medical costs that go with them.
I like Plasticjungle website. Just buy the gift card at discounted price.
